Henny Penny


Henny Penny

I wasn't 100% happy with this little lady decided that she really did need a few more white or grey toned feathers down her front. 

So with paint brush in hand and a new palette of greys mixed up that's exactly what I set about doing.. Much much happier with her now and can say Henny Penny is definitely finished all bar the sealing of the canvas and attaching the hanging apparatus on the back of the canvas.

Henny Penny is a Japanese Bantam hen.

Rooster - Untitled



Rooster Untitled

This dude is Henny Pennys mate both on canvas and in real life.. Made a good start to him this morning.. blocking in the colours on his comb and starting on the detail on his wattles.

Who knew that there was so much texture in a Roosters comb. Im sure finding that out with this particular breed of Rooster

Henny Penny

Henny Penny

Well I think this little lady is finished will decide it I need to do one more tweak to her tomorrow.   Started going a bit cross eyed from all those feathers by the time I washed my brushes.

Still Ive had a lot of fun painting Henny Penny who knew that chooks could be so captivating to paint

Henny Penny



Henny Penny

Henny Penny is my latest acrylic work in progress.  She will be part of a pair of chickens with her mate being a rooster from the same breed.

I decided with Henny Penny that Id like to try a different coloured background, really happy with the resulting colour mix.

Upon completing Henny Penny will be heading to a joint exhibition in Sydney titled "Wild Things" at the Art House Hotel in Pitt Street.. but more on that as time draws near

Piaffe



Piaffe

Well i finally finished this piece this morning after months of working on exhibition pieces.. it is the newest in my dressage series.

Funny how after you photograph a piece you think is finished you can see things that may need a bit of a tweak..

Will think it over over the weekend and then decide what I'll do. Piaffe is destined for a display at a dressage event I have been invited to just before Christmas..

However expressions of interest are being taken to purchase before hand

From time to time I like to work with a different palette of colours especially with black or dark coloured horses.

Fantasy was one of those such pieces.

Christmas Commissions



Christmas Commissions - Book early to avoid disappointment

Well that time of year is fast approaching us again when we start looking for that special gift to give for Christmas.

A portrait is a wonderful way to create that special and lasting memory that can be passed on for generations to come. 

Be it a portrait of yourself with a furry four legged companion,
 a portrait of a present or past animal pal.

Bookings for commissions will be closing soon to allow plenty of time for completion and delivery for Christmas.

Remember that good clear images (the larger the better) are best to work with as they allow a lot more detail for me to work with.

If your uncertain of what type of portrait your recipient may like??? Then Id suggest a gift voucher/certificate which allows them to have input into their gift by selecting which image they would like immortalised.

Original works for art are available for purchase ... until Christmas any original work purchased over $500.00 will be shipped free of charge.
